Chiefs Superfan Faced with Multi-Million Dollar Judgment

Xaviar Babudar, better known as 'Chiefsaholic', a superfan of the Kansas City Chiefs, has been ordered by an Oklahoma judge to pay a hefty $10.8 million for damages after a December 2022 bank robbery. During the incident, he threatened a bank teller, Payton Garcia, with a gun.

Judge Tracy L. Priddy ruled Babudar to compensate Garcia with $7.2 million for punitive damages and another $3.6 million for physical and emotional distress. Babudar's robbery spree, in which he stole over $800,000 and laundered the money through casinos, has left him facing a possible 50 years in prison without parole, with sentencing scheduled for July 10.

U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore condemned the crime spree for causing severe trauma to bank employees. Babudar's notoriety from the robberies cannot be used to his advantage. Garcia's attorney, Frank Frasier, emphasized that any future profits from potential books or movies must go to creditors, underscoring the judge's message that crime should not be profitable.
